----quoted text below---- mhainal : 08/09 04:33 : Incident created Trying to install this on a IBM thinkpad 600x with a Xircom realport2 ethernet 10/100 network card and a Neomagic magicmedia 256zx video adapter. At install time after you select all the languages , format your partitions and select the packages it continues OK with the install , but after asking for the second cd , it freezes at that stage . The install does not continue from the second cd . The cd is readable as I read it in my sun firewall machine , and also windows can open it up and read the files ( although the format is not understandable, of course ) . Selecting " I do not have the second and third cd of Mandrake " option allows you to finish the installation ( restarted from scratch , see above ) , but it cannot detect the network card ( " your comnputer contains hardware that require legacy drivers") or something like this . The main problem I want to advise you about is that it cannot detect the screen or video adapter ; and you cannot select anything from the options given ( 800x600 vga , 1024x..., default , etc ) as it pumps out an error , about a package k*.rpm not found . So I have to cancell and after the install there is no window gui ( gnome or kde ) installed. You only get the command prompt login . Trying to manually launch a gnome-session , same error , package not found ... I hope this makes some sense to you guys ; Overall the experience was positive and I can hardly wait to see the final product and a working gui( you know, I come from the evil world of Microsoft , so for me the gui is important :) ) If you have any advice for me on how to get the gui working , please shoot a reply , I would love to play with it a bit ... cheers Marius -----end quoted text----- -- Alan
